Review: Milk Makeup Rise Mascara

What It Is: A mascara that weightlessly lifts, lengthens, curls, and adds subtle volume for the most natural-looking lashes.

What It Does: Curls and lengthens.

Active Ingredients: Four vegan waxes wrap each lash for precise definition and weightless volume.

Verdict: Let me preface this by stating that I’m extremely picky when it comes to mascaras. Did this mascara perform the way it should’ve? Absolutely. It did curl and add lots of volume to my lashes, which I cannot deny, however, there were some things I wasn’t completely sold off on. First of all, the formula felt really dry – as in the mascara itself didn’t feel wet, so trying to maneuver the wand through the lashes wasn’t that easy, even because the wand’s bristles were the classic type and not spiky, so there were more instances of clumping. So, yes, I liked how my lashes looked overall with this mascara but the application wasn’t as satisfying because the formula felt so dry and not hydrated at all. If you’re going to purchase mascara from Milk, I would recommend their Kush, mascara instead. I think that one is infinitely better.

Price: $28

Where To Buy It: Sephora, Milk.com, and Ulta

Review: Milk Makeup Cooling Water

milk

 

What It Is: A hydrating gel stick

What It Does: Refreshes and soothes skin for a quick boost of moisture on the go!

Active Ingredients: Caffeine and seawater

Verdict: Advertised as “sleep in a stick” I decided to give it a go since I’m always sleep deprived and could benefit from looking more refreshed and ready to conquer the world in the early a.m. Since it’s been on the humid/hot side lately, I decided to pop this beauty in the fridge overnight before using it the following morning. Usually I tend to avoid anything that claims to be uber hydrating because my skin is hydrated and oily enough that extra moisture usually means we’re getting close to acne territory, but the seawater convinced me that it would keep the pimples away since salt tends to absorb oil. I don’t have puffy eyes in the mornings, so I can’t say how well this stick works for that, but I can say that this stick does give you that extra boost that you may need to kickstart your morning. Using this is like drinking a double-shot espresso whilst getting a blast of cold water splashed on your face. If that doesn’t wake you up, I don’t know what will.

Bonus: Vegan and Cruelty-free

Price: $24
